I'm a mage, what's wrong with loving farming?

Chapter 246: The Wonderful South, Farewell to Yanshan
Sean's hometown is at the southernmost part of the Kingdom of Nolant. In such a medieval environment, it is almost impossible to arrive there quickly.

Unless some magical means are used.

Of course, Croa can afford such a price. Even sending an army directly to the southern border is not a big deal at all.

But he still specifically instructed his apprentices to carry enough "living weapons" across a long distance from north to south, collecting magical beasts and plants along the way to fill in illustrations and draw maps.

In order to ensure their safety along the way, Croa not only submitted an application to the Mage Association and the Norant Royal Court, but also generously stated in the Mage Lord Alliance that his people would go to the southern border.

He is now a level five mage, and the highest level in the Mage Lord Alliance is only level six. With this level, there is no need to hide anything.

Strength is everything in the world of magicians.

So he didn't need to say anything. As soon as the message was sent out, he received responses from people along the way.

These include the Lord of Green Forest, the Lord of Rock Ridge, the Lord of Demonic Swamp... and the Lord of Flame Mountain who has been in contact.

They all said they would provide the utmost convenience.

Among them is an acquaintance, the Lord of Flame Mountain who has been buying enough food from Croa to feed a red dragon. His territory is in the southern border.

Kloya told Lina that she must first visit the Lord of Flame Mountain, as she had a good relationship with this guy.

First get enough information from him, then go and mediate the war, and by the way... collect some things back.

……

After traveling for several months, Sean and Lina, the team leader of the operation, truly saw the difference between the outside world and the North, and also felt how strong their lord's face-saving ability was.

——Even in the most chaotic areas, the local lords' ability to manage their territories is not bad at all. With their help, even the most difficult roads will become smooth.

By the time the last lord's carriage had left, the huge stone tablet engraved with "Southern Territory of Norlant" was already in sight.

Sean couldn't help but sigh: "When I came here, I didn't get a good night's sleep every day, but now..."

He scratched his hair: "I feel like I just slept in the car the whole time, and I slept very well."

This is absolutely true.

These cars may not look very conspicuous on the outside, but their interiors are all made of Silver Moon Wood, and are engraved with magic patterns for space expansion, so each one is a motorhome.

In addition, Hanjiao Island pursues high quality of life, so it has complete facilities and is warm in winter and cool in summer, so there is no need to worry about the impact of environmental changes.

Long-distance travel, which is difficult for ordinary people to accept, is just a journey for them.

You have to know that in this world, traveling so comfortably is not something that even princes and nobles can easily do.

Lina couldn't help laughing when she heard Sean's words: "All this is Master Croa's ability... huh?"

She turned her head sharply and saw that the resonant sound wave flower nearby suddenly issued a piercing alarm sound.

"Beep beep!"

On the huge flower disk, there were several small spots of light approaching the convoy at a very fast speed. She immediately gave the order to defend.

"Everyone, alert!"

The convoy stopped immediately, and the apprentices threw a strange kind of vines out of the car. They grew rapidly the moment they landed on the ground. The crystal clear vines intertwined with each other to form a transparent wall.

The wall was like a backflowing pot, enveloping the entire convoy, ensuring that even if there was any attack, it could be defended immediately, giving them enough time to counterattack.

Then, they saw several strange-looking creatures falling from the sky - they were very tall, almost each one was over two meters tall, and they looked human overall.

But the surface of their skin is covered with dense red scales, which are distributed on human skin, colorful and flowing with the sunlight; their limbs are abnormally developed, and their toes and fingertips are sharp claws; behind them there are huge, powerful bat-like dragon wings with knife-sharp edges and a huge tail.

The most important thing is... they have sharp and thick dragon horns on their foreheads, and their pupils are also vertical red.

No matter how you look at it, they are inseparable from dragons.

Among them, the one who seemed to be the leader was particularly tall, with a harmonious fusion of dragon and human features, a strong body and well-developed muscles. He walked forward.

He shouted loudly: "Dear guests who have come from afar, we are the subordinates of Lord Yanshan, and we have come specially to pick you up!"

Nina quickly confirmed the authenticity of the incident through the mushroom people and Hanjiao Island, and then waved her hand to signal the apprentices to lift their alert.

She got out of the car first and walked up to the male dragon man with confidence.

Although Nina was considered very tall, there was still a gap when facing a dragon man. She almost had to tilt her head back to see the dragon man's eyes.

"how should I address you?"

Nina remained polite as always.

"Dragun." The dragon man replied casually, and then made a gesture of invitation in the same polite manner.

"Master Yanshan and mother are waiting for you. Please follow the path we guide you."

After saying that, it flew into the sky to lead the way, obviously unwilling to communicate too much.

Nina said nothing more. After getting in the car, she told her apprentices to follow the group of dragon people. The car slowly drove past the boundary marker of the southern border.

After officially entering the southern border, both the environment and the climate have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The south is also very hot, but this heat is completely different from the refreshing air brought by the sea breeze in the north. It is a humid heat that is more extreme than the gray desert.

The air was filled with thick humidity, which easily formed visible water droplets on the metal shell of the car, as if being in a huge steamer.

Along the way, you can see swamps, wetlands, deep pools hidden under the grass and trees, huge insects, and giant ferns everywhere. The trees are so tall and dense that it is difficult for sunlight to pass through the treetops and fall to the ground. Only a few spots of sunlight fall.

This resulted in an unimaginable amount of humus soil, one person deep, piling up under the tree. It lay quietly among the tangled roots, yet its surface was filled with magical aura.

Excited to see the prey, the apprentices immediately collected some of the special soil after discovering it.

After testing, it was found that these soils contained magical powers and nutrients that seemed to have been "fermented".

The magic power that was formed somehow was easily absorbed by the magic plants. After using the soil, some of the magic plants they brought with them instantly became energetic, as if they had taken drugs.

After discovering this, the apprentices couldn't wait to report to Lina:

“Sister Lina, this mud does not contain simple magic power, but an extremely complex combination of magic power.”

"I tested a red sunflower, and its magic power absorption speed is faster than the nutrient soil prepared on Hanjiao Island."

An apprentice in a wizard robe said excitedly: "If we can take more back, maybe we can improve the soil structure and make the plants grow better!"

He looked at the boundless humus layer outside, his eyes shining, and he wished he could go out and scrape all the soil off and take it away.

Although the other apprentices did not speak, their expressions were basically the same. The soil here is simply fertile soil given by God.

For those who love farming, is there anything more attractive than a piece of land where all kinds of plants can grow freely?

After listening to their description, Nina was of course also moved.

But, they are now representing Hanjiao Island!
What's the point of digging three feet into the ground as soon as you arrive at someone else's territory? It would be fine to catch some monsters and pull out some magical plants, but you also have to dig the soil?

If this matter gets out, it doesn't matter whether they have shame or not, but it will definitely cause some trouble to Cloya.

So Lina refused and warned:

"Please bear with it for now. I will report to Master Croix."

After she said this, the apprentices held back.

But as they continued to move forward, more and more strange magical plants and magical beasts appeared before them in the southern border.

First up were some giant reptiles.

Those monsters, covered with heavy scales and as huge as hills, fight in the swamps and wetlands, and each time they make a noise that seems to turn the world upside down.

"This, this, this..."

"This is simply the perfect coolie!"

The apprentices' eyes lit up; it was the first time they had seen such a magical beast, and it looked very suitable for pulling carts and doing heavy work.

"And this! Look, isn't that the Devil-Guming Bottle Grass?"

An apprentice had sharp eyes and saw a huge plant that was more than ten meters high in the distance. Bottles were growing on the plant, and many insects were approaching.

"That's the magic cage plant!"

Sean, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but speak up: "They catch insects to survive, and the bottle contains a highly toxic and corrosive liquid!" After he said this, the apprentices seemed to wake up from their dreams.

This person seems to have grown up in the Southern Territory!
As a result, he was immediately surrounded by enthusiastic apprentices.

"What is this?"

"What about this one? And this one?"

These apprentices took their notebooks and began to ask frequently about the various magical plants and beasts they saw along the way.

It must be said that Sean was indeed quite capable. He was able to describe the functions of most of them and provided valuable information for the apprentices.

You know, if you want to survive in such a harsh environment as the Southern Territory, it is absolutely impossible not to learn and understand the magical beasts and plants that are powerful enough to kill them.

Even for ordinary people, the knowledge passed down from generation to generation is enough to surprise the wizards.

because……

Mages study just for the sake of research, but people study these magical plants and beasts in order to stay alive.

So Sean really had no time to spare during this journey.

During the two days, except for the time when he could go to bed after ten o'clock in the evening, as soon as Sean opened his eyes in the morning, he would be surrounded by apprentices and asked all kinds of questions.

There was no time to sleep happily wrapped in a blanket, and Sean could only honestly answer a variety of complicated questions.

By the time the convoy finally arrived at the territory of Lord Yanshan, he already felt dizzy and swollen in the head, as if someone had hollowed it out with a spoon.

So much so that when the dragons landed and the car stopped, he felt like tears welling up in his eyes.

Finally free!
……

When the car entered Yanshan Territory, it was deep in Yanshan Territory.

"My love."

The Lord of Yanshan gently held the arm of the woman beside him, but veins seemed to be bulging on his palms.

I don’t know what happened, but this tall and agile woman seemed to be a little sleepy, and her clothes were loose, as if she had just been pulled out of the quilt.

"what?"

The woman heard the voice of Lord Yanshan and woke up a little. She blinked confusedly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"..."

"The men of the friend who often supplies food have come. They seem to want to interfere in the war between Duke Nar and Duke Olivier." Lord Yanshan explained in a low voice.

He was already used to Long's awkward memory and could only repeat himself.

As a result, the woman's eyes lit up after hearing this, and a bloodthirsty light flashed in her pupils, which looked like those of a giant reptile.

"Duke Nar and Duke Olivier..."

She murmured these words again and suddenly clenched Yanshan's hand. If the latter had not been used to it, he would have immediately used the Iron Bone Technique and his hand bones would have been crushed.

But even so, he was in so much pain that tears were about to fall, and he quickly said, "Calm down!"

"My love! My hand!!!"

The woman then realized that she had used too much force, and quickly let go. She opened her mouth towards Yanshan's dark purple arm and gently spit out a ball of flame.

The flame was blood red, but not hot. Instead, it was filled with an indescribable life force.

The moment it landed on Yanshan's arm, the purple scar quickly disappeared until it was completely healed.

If there were magicians or scholars who had done in-depth research on dragons here, they would probably jump up in shock.

Although fire is the innate ability of red dragons, being able to spit out the fire of life is not something that ordinary red dragons can do.

Only the legendary "Ruby Dragon" can do this.

That is a special species among red dragons. Among hundreds of baby dragons, there may not be one that appears. Even... their flames can call back souls that have already gone to the underworld.

"call."

Yanshan, who had long been accustomed to his wife's inability to control her own strength, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't take it seriously at all and consoled her:
"I know you hate them, isn't this your chance?"

"Your brother and sister...are they still in the hands of Duke Nar?"

Ten years ago, Duke Nar and Duke Olivier had already started a war, fighting for a special secret place deep in the southern border.

To outsiders, it may just be a dispute over resources. After all, the secret realm is a special small dimension that can produce some expensive materials.

But only a very few people know that what they are fighting for is not the secret realm, but the dragon's nest inside, the "Ruby Nest" left behind by a giant dragon long ago.

There are not only Ruby Dragon eggs, but also eggs of many ordinary red dragons and various dragon beasts.

Whoever can control that secret realm can obtain the treasure inside, which is a nest of ruby ​​dragons and red dragons!
Speaking of which, Yanshan only found out about this matter after he picked up his wife, and he has kept it in mind ever since.

He knew that his wife wanted to rescue his younger brothers and sisters, so she took the initiative to participate when Croa proposed to intervene in the war.

Nora, who was still a loli dragon according to her age among dragons, thought of her brother and sister who were still in the egg, and finally nodded silently.

“My dear, if they can help me find my brother and sister, I will give them the key to the dragon’s nest.

I hope the Lord of the Reef will treat them well."

Yanshan just tightly held his wife's hand and looked into the distance——

In a bare, desert-like landscape.

A convoy finally arrived here.

The dragon man named Dragun flapped his wings and flew over. With a look of child's admiration for his mother on his face, he knelt down respectfully.

"Mother, my Lord."

"I got them there safely."

Nora was no longer in a daze, and she looked elegant and dignified.

She praised: "Well done, my child."

A flush of excitement flashed across Dragon's face. He grinned with a mouthful of white and neat teeth and stood obediently behind the man and the dragon.

At this time, Lina was already holding a box that Kloa had given her before leaving, and was walking over with steady steps.

"Lord Yanshan, ma'am, this is a gift from our lord to you." She saluted and handed over the box.

The Ruby Dragon Nora was not one to wait, and she tore open the beautifully packaged box on the spot. She immediately saw the red gem inside that was beating like a heart.

The shape of the gem was like a red heart, and even the blood vessels were very clear. Under the crystal clear shell was a flame that seemed to be beating with life.

As the sealed box was broken, it immediately emanated an indescribable vitality and heat, and the sound of their heartbeats thumped in their ears.

The dragon race's instinct to love gemstones made her exclaim, "This is the Red Heart of Life! It is a treasure that can only be found in the deepest earth!"

There was an intoxicated look in her eyes. She held the gem like a dog holding a bone, and she was just about to lick it with her tongue.

Yanshan: “…”

If he couldn't see that his wife loved this gem, he would be a fool.

But the people are still here!

He sighed helplessly and said, "Let's talk inside. I need to communicate with your lord in person!"

He had originally planned to reveal some information depending on the situation, but now it seems that this plan can be abandoned.

Long's love and hate are very clear. It is estimated that at this moment, his wife has already regarded the generous and kind Lord Hanjiao, whom she has never met, as her good friend.

It seems that some things need to be made clearer.

I don't know if these mage apprentices, who appear to be only level one or two, can really interfere in the war.
